Testimonials

He is true professional and realtor extra-ordinaire.

"I had the pleasure of working with Mr Harlan TenNapel a few years ago thru job relocation. He is familiar with relocation policies and has all the right questions to ask when it comes to the Do's and Don't's with relocation. His knowledge of in and around Sioux Falls, SD area is impeccable. He is true professional and realtor extra-ordinaire. He will provide you with a list of houses that he has fully researched. He will provide you data on how the community has done over the past years. He looks out for your best interest. Schools were very important to me and my wife and Harlan went out of his way in getting me connected with one of the local schools for a tour. He is well connected with the community and will work hard to help you choose the right community for you and your family.

I could not have asked for a better realtor than Harlan

I could not have asked for a better realtor than Harlan. He is the most patient realtor I have ever worked with. My family and I were looking for a home in the midst of winter in Sioux Falls. Coming from California, winter was a whole new ball game for me and my family. Rain, shine, or snow (or blizzard), Harlan is committed in getting you around Sioux Falls to find you a home.

We are very pleased with everything the Team did for us

Houses By Harlan Team is awesome!!  We found a house we wanted to buy and had to sell our house quickly.  The team set up a stager to come through and give us tips on what to do to get ready to sell.  Houses by Harlan even lent us a dining room table and chairs for the showing of the house that fit perfectly in our home.  I saw a lot of homes on the market before our house was listed that were still on the market after we sold our house. I believe this is due to the hard work and superior talent of the Houses By Harlan Team!  We are very pleased with everything the Team did for us. We have already referred one of our friends that are getting ready to sell and we will continue to refer anyone else thinking of selling!!

It was out of the ordinary situation...

It was out of the ordinary situation of selling house remotely and needing a Power of Attorney in place.  Harlan helped me get that all set up as well as helping find someone to clean the house via the website.  It was a little hard to determine what the asking price should be because of location and local market.  Closing got stressful but that was because of buyer’s schedule not anything from Harlan’s office.

knowledgeable and respected in his profession and community.

People were amazed that my house sold within a week.  I gave that credit to Harlan.  Whenever I mentioned that Harlan was my realtor, people really perked up.  Obviously, he is knowledgeable and respected in his profession and community.  I felt Harlan cared about me as a person just as much as he cared about the property.  It was a privilege to work with Harlan from the buying of my house to the selling of it.

pleased with the outcome

Selling a home you really like is hard-Harlan is very sensitive to that and gently takes you through all the necessary steps and then WHAM you have a sold house!  Staging was hard, our home wasn’t “us” anymore-Harlan gave us clear instructions. We met them and were pleased with the outcome.

Harlan, Mark and Betty were not only professional but equally important personable.  They went above and beyond in every aspect.  Harlan and his team exceeded all my expectations when selling my home.  They made a difficult time of my life easier by their concern and care for me as their client.  Harlan even assisted me with searching for alternate housing since my home sold so quickly.  I would recommend the Houses by Harlan Team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

You stepped up when others weren't willing

Thank you, Harlan for all of the hand holding that you did with my mother, my sisters and with me.  You stepped up when others weren't willing to assist and you marketed the house perfectly with the main goal in mind---to sell the house in today's market.  Thank you again and if you need anything else, please feel free to contact me.  Also, if the present owners have any questions regarding the home--go ahead and give them my name as a point of reference.
